When the crime draws all eyes to Cody, Owl realized he is in far more serious trouble than anyone knows--and it\'s followed him to her mountain..
But then Owl hears her father will be released from prison, and a seemingly motiveless murder shakes the foundations of her small town.
Together, they find comfort in their similarities and exhilaration in their differences, and risk a romance their families are desperate to stop.
Cody seems to see the real her, to look past her hearing loss in a way no one else does.
Owl\'s sheltered existence is blown wide open by Cody--the magnetic, dangerous young man hired to help with the season\'s Sugaring off.
All Owl wants is to stay safe at the farm, her favorite place in the world, her refuge from those who would treat her differently.
They never speak of the childhood tragedy that left her partially deaf and sent her father to jail.
Owl has always been her freest self in the mountains, tracking, hiking, and exploring the steep forested acres of her aunt and uncle\'s maple sugar farm. *ITW Thriller Award Finalist* A dazzling and evocative novel about love and loss--with a dash of thrilling mystery--for fans of Mindy McGinnis and Courtney Summers
